Because of being busy and Mega Man needing more work than I anticipated to get it looking great, I'm gonna go ahead and do my re-encodes of Elfen Lied, only this time use the Blu-Ray's for 720p and 1080p encodes. They should be done within 20 hours so will probly be up by Monday if all goes well. That will have to hold everyone until I can finish the rest of Mega Man (90's Series). It wont be too much longer to finish Mega Man, I just wish to get something up now in the meantime since its been over a week long wait for it.

I have been extremely busy, my gf got a new job. I have to drive her to and from work until she gets a license in a week or two, which has thrown my schedule and sleep schedule all out of whack. I ended up going 2 nights in a row so far with 2-3 hours of sleep.

I doubt I will have any time to work on anything this week, but I will try.

I need to get the Mega Man episodes finished so the rest of those episodes is whats currently on my to do list.

Mega Man scripts are pretty much finished and ready to encode by tomorrow.

The filters I used are VERY slow because these sources are kinda poor looking or needed more careful work. Because of this, once I start the encoding Queue, its going to be about 8 hours to finish 3 episodes. So if all goes well and I don't notice any improvements or crashing, I will certainly try to have it up this coming Monday or so. Earlier if possible!

Once finished, I will move on to Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood 720p and 1080p. These should get done faster than Mega Man because I doubt they need as careful work done to them to where I have to test a couple things for comparing.

I should have a couple things to upload tomorrow if one or two finishes by the time I wake up. The movies need about 12 hours each. Because of being busy, I did 3-4 movies for everyone since they didn't take too long to set up for encoding. That way I at least had an upload this week ha ha.

These are some pretty good movies, and 2-3 of them are quite funny. Enjoy your surprises when they come!!

I never really know for sure until I finish and decide what I'm in the mood for, that's why I only pick 2 at a time and don't worry about it anymore until their done. Helps with the stress of feeling rushed and dealing with so much to work on.

More than likely something on the future plans list, unless I bought something new I wanna get done.

I always post my choices when I decide them, so no need to ask really, just usually wait for that post when the choices are made.

In that case I pray for Dragon Ball to be your next big project after those 3 "smaller" ones. :O

After watching Resurrection "F" I got so hyped again and I want to re-watch the complete uncut series some time in the future and what better way to watch them than to have the best quality from your work. Since a strong criterion for your next release is entirely on what you want to work and watch, I can only hope that Dragon Ball is one of the series that you'll want to watch soon.

Okay I got all Subtitles, and Audio finished and double checked today for Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. I got almost all scripts for the series written as well. I'll try to get the rest of the scripts done tomorrow. It will be kind of a busy catch up day cleaning up after several pets in a room and yard work, but I'm trying! All I can say is thanks for the patience and it will all pay off in the end when finished.

I also decided I am going to encode the Brotherhood Movie and OVA's as well and include them all in one set. So hopefully I can get them all ripped and set up tomorrow after the yard work I have to do. If not, oh well, It's just a movie and a few OVA episodes, that shouldn't take much work or time I wouldn't think. I can get that done in one night after work on a day I have some free time.

I'm gonna try to have all the scripts running in the encoder by the middle of the week or so. Overall that means not too much longer before I can say its done and ready to be all muxed together and uploaded.

I got the Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood series all ready to go through the encoder. Just gotta rip the movie and OVA's this weekend and get them ready. I should be able to have it all running through the encoder by Monday night. If that's the case, and nothing goes wrong during the encoding process of all the episodes, I am going to estimate release of it all being by next weekend I hope. I'll know for sure once the queue list starts and I see how long each episode will take.

I was going to put all the episodes, ova and movie up today but then I realized something as I was moving the files to my seeding computer. I saw my old DVD encodes on my external drive and realized, I forgot all about there being a Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood Four-Panel Comic Theater. I did not see these on the Blu-Ray since I was only looking for the 4 OVA episodes, or I wouldn't have almost missed them.

I want to include this in the download as well. I'm gonna try my best to rip, encode and mux that by Sunday to go with everything else, but if I cant I may need an extra day or two. Their all just 1-3 minute comedy clips so I wouldn't think it would take long at all to do those.

If all looks good in the end, I will go ahead and do them all. If not, I'm gonna pass on 1080p release because the Blu-Ray release I have is just not suited to be in 1080p due to their crappy release. I may try again with the Japanese Blu-Rays at a later date or a new release when it comes out if I end up passing on 1080p encodes for this series.

I will be away until Tuesday. I'll reply to messages I get after tonight when I return.

Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood 1080p looked pretty decent at first glance. Id say it turned out pretty good, only thing I didn't care for is it looking like an upscale, but it's not really too bad.

I still need to check it thoroughly and compare it though before a final decision is made if the rest of the series in 1080p is worth it. I tried a custom filter out and method I havent used so I need to make sure it didn't ruin the colorspace or anything when I get some time to compare to the source.

____________________Like the quality of my anime encodes and want more of my work?You can find all of my work here!

Okay I checked out the Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood episodes in 1080p finally. Sorry that took me long enough to get around to the in depth comparison I mentioned but I have busy and or enjoying my Christmas vacation and haven't been in the mood for any encoding work.

My overall opinion on it is it turned out pretty okay. Looks better than the source but I did notice a color issue that I could find in these other episodes I checked. The filter I used to get rid of aliased jagged lines had to be a strong one and as a result of its use, even when I tweaked it to get a custom filter, it is putting a slight white/blue tint over the entire image. You probly wouldn't notice unless being told or having the original to compare with it. I had to take many screenshots from both the source and the encode and look at them closely to notice it, but it is there and it is happening.

I uploaded one episode that's done being encoded. Your free to take a look at it here and give an opinion on whether or not you think I should finish the rest of them. I personally think I could get a better result using the Japanese sets, but I am incapable of getting ahold of them all at the moment. You can get the finished episode I checked thoroughly here.

Unless enough people say go ahead and finish the rest because they want them and or don't notice or care about the color issue in the uploaded episode, I'm probly just gonna move on and possibly go after 1080p for this series later when I can get and check the Japanese ones. That or I finally get around to making a custom filter that doesn't cause this issue. This is afterall taking too much time now and I would like to move on to something else. Enough people are afterall waiting for me to move on and get more stuff done so 1080p for this show is more than likely going to end up a side project with no 100% promise so I can get other things done.

Ive decided to re-encode Spiderman 90's animated series. Not only would it not take very long because its not a huge series, but last time I encoded it years ago, it was the first PAL DVD I ever encoded. Because of that being my first PAL encode ever and also years ago, I didn't really encode it right or nearly as good as I could if I were to encode it now. I can make it at look at least 2x or more better and make it playback with much less blending in it. Such a major improvement for that series overall, that a re-encode is definitely worth it.

I am also doing a surprise encode of something on the side that I never mentioned or had on the future plans list. This is a great short series in my opinion and any fan of 90's cartoons/anime should really enjoy it.

Since your reading this in the forum and not everywhere else I mentioned this, I will give you a spoiler and tell you what it is Im working on along side it if you wish to know.

Spoiler:

Todd Mcfarlane's Spawn the animated series.
